Most people agree that "death by cynicism" is a type of murder. Bill Ayers, who can't be quoted on any subject without inserting a comment about the "murders" of the Nixon administration in SE Asia, is conspicuously quiet on this about to occur "murder" of American Marines and soldiers in Afghanistan.
In March, the still-new President Obama stated he had a solid new policy and strategy in place for Afghanistan, apparently referring to a counter-insurgency plan to be implemented by his new theater commander, Gen Stanley McChrystal.
That was March, this is now September and Obama says we do not yet have a strategy, and he will consider a troop surge only after the direction and form of that strategy has been determined.
????
In other words, Obama either lied in March, and never really had a strategy or the strategy he had then has failed. Either one is plausible. In fact, both could be true.
What also has occured in that time frame is that Obama in March had a game plan in which his Health care plan would be law by the August recess, and therefore the Left would (cynically) give him all the rope (and troops) he wanted to finish up Afghanistan in the way he (cynically) promised the American people.
Now in order to keep those on the Left in tow with a crumbling healthcare plan, Obama must (cynically) place not only the mission, but the lives and endeavors of the troops in Afghanistan on the back burner, possibly with a view toward ultimate surrender, retreat (pulling out), having all those lives lost in vain.
As far as we are concerned at SICCM, the death of every Marine and soldier since March has been cynical murder.
So, where's Bill Ayers?
